The first step to better security is to have awareness. CFISA’s Security Awareness Training can help business’s in Palatka avoid fines, downtime, loss of trust, legal issues, and even devastating loss of business, all of which can occur as a result of lost or stolen data.

If more and more of your staff is working remotely, security is more important than ever.

With proper education and thoughtful policies, your business can be safe from threats more than ever before.

What Our Security Awareness Training Covers

PCI-DSS Overview

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a standard created for Palatka businesses to help reduce credit card fraud and improve cardholder security data. If your business deals with credit cards, it needs to comply with PCI DSS. The same practices that ensure compliance with PCI DSS will help protect any modern business and its clients from data breaches and data loss.

Strong Passwords Increase Security

As recently as 2019, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre discovered that “123456” appeared in millions of breached accounts, followed by “123456789,” “qwerty,” “password,” and “11111111.” A strong password is the cornerstone of a secure system. If you have in-house IT, they will love us; we teach how to create passwords that are both strong and memorable.

Understanding and Recognizing Social Engineering

It is rarely good to be on the receiving end of social engineering. This is where people – commonly criminals – build trust and manipulate others into giving up confidential information. Our team will explain how to spot, avoid, and report social engineering.

Phishing and Email Best Practices

Phishing attempts try to trick users into providing confidential information, or information that can be used to exploit them. Fortunately, most phishing attempts are recognizable if you know what to look for.

Viruses, spyware, and spam spell trouble for businesses all over the world. With the right software, education, and practices, it is possible to escape the tyranny of those who would absorb your time, money, and data.
